At least she made her own choice. Those who were victims of the Morecambe Bay scandal did not. The deaths of almost a dozen babies were blamed on midwives in ?over-zealous pursuit? of ?natural childbirth at any cost?.

Midwives, and any others, who want ?natural childbirth at any cost? should go and live in the Congo where they might actually do some good.

But it's not just midwives. Organisations like the NTC also need to take a level of responsibility. I've heard so many stories where women said they felt like failures when their plans for natural birth didn't go to plan.


Although to be fair I'm going back 5 years, may be better now.

So Netanyahu confirms what we've suspected for 15 years, that in our brave new world full of useful 'turrists' Israel has no intention of making peace or going for any state solution at all, be it one, two or pie in the sky.


And all those negotiations where people said to the palestinians 'just give in to their demands and stick to peaceful negotiations' were all in entirely bad faith, as was obvious to anyone looking on dispassionately.


And it barely makes the news...are we so jaded?


So given the confirmation that you've perpetuity in a occupational police state or ghetto prison, what would you do?

nets is a wanker of the highest order. he never got over his bro being killed at Entebbe back in the day, has a real hard on for bloody revenge. Its very very sad when the only future is to continue the siege mentality - ramping up the fallacy at home that the US is abandoning them has helped a great deal. just another sad day for the region

The BBC is a Global name well respected around the World.

It cannot be seen to be Demonstrating Double Standards...


If a less prominent employee were to punch someone it would be instant dismissal. No questions asked.


Clarkson is a vulgar A**ehole. His comments only funny ?

to those of similar 'Could not give a s**t about anyone else ' attitude.


I used to enjoy the programme but it started to become 'Sameish' and unbeleveable.


It was a bit of a stop gap for me on a Sunday night whilst waiting for Pub O'clock time.


Can't say I will miss Clarkson. Can't see the programme returning to our screens.

I had hoped that there would be an alternative petition to keep Clarkson sacked. Along the lines that John Lydon's brother campaigned to keep Hugh Strangler in Pentonville when he had been put away for a short time for possession of a class A drug.


Anyway, not an astute observation but in the same way that Frasier, Roseanne, Happy Days and no doubt other US comedies, Top Gear became forumlaic long ago. Yes entertaining, and nowt wrong with a guilty pleasure or two, but you knew the plot before it started.

There was. https://www.change.org/p/top-gear-the-bbc-bbc-do-not-bring-back-clarkson?recruiter=59305867&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=autopublish&utm_term=mob-xs-share_petition-reason_msg&fb_ref=Default - it got 343 signatures.


People power at its best.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.”
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
